Your decision

Why they fit

Problem -> Change -> Result 25%
The candidate provides a clear example of identifying operational friction (stockouts in distribution), engineering a demand-forecasting and inventory model, and achieving a measurable 20% reduction in stockouts. Another example shows redesigning category pricing to improve margins and channel loyalty.

Where they fall short

Evidence-Led Decisions −16 pts
The CV mentions 'Data-backed' pricing and 'data-driven' segmentation, but only reports delivering outputs. There is no evidence showing what specific evidence was analyzed, how it altered or prioritized a decision, or what reasoning guided the choice.
Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −16 pts
Evidence for this criterion is not present in the CV. The CV notes leading cross-functional teams and streamlining engagement funnels, but lacks any concrete example of handling an ambiguous issue, operational failure, or escalation from discovery through resolution and follow-up.
Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −12 pts
The candidate created an inventory model and channel onboarding kits, demonstrating the creation of operational tools. However, there is no explicit evidence showing that these tools were widely adopted or became an ongoing repeatable practice reused by other teams.

Rubric breakdown: SPM

PM (applied)SPM

Criterion	Weight	Score	Weighted	AI reasoning	Evidence from CV
Independent Decision Ownership	30%	1/5	6.0/30	The candidate held general management and strategic lead roles where they implemented pricing and operational models. However, the CV lacks explicit evidence of making consequential decisions independently under uncertainty or without executive approval, and does not articulate trade-offs.	“Designed and implemented a 3-tier product portfolio with differential Trade Pricing based on local market segmentation.”
Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result	20%	4/5	16.0/20	The CV provides concrete examples of identifying operational and commercial problems, implementing changes, and achieving measurable results (e.g., reducing stockouts and raising margins).	“Led a Data-backed Category Pricing redesign that improved channel loyalty by 21% and increased product margins from 7% to 8.5%.” “Engineered a demand-forecasting and inventory model that optimized the distribution network, successfully reducing product stockouts by 20%.”
Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal	20%	1/5	4.0/20	While the CV mentions data-backed and data-driven initiatives, it contains no evidence of prioritisation trade-offs or a situation where new evidence caused the candidate to reverse or materially alter a direction.	Evidence not present in the CV. 1 AI quote(s) discarded: not found verbatim in CV
Creates Systems Others Run	15%	2/5	6.0/15	The candidate engineered a demand-forecasting and inventory model and streamlined the B2B engagement funnel. However, there is no explicit evidence demonstrating that these systems became self-sustaining operating rhythms run by others.	“Engineered a demand-forecasting and inventory model that optimized the distribution network, successfully reducing product stockouts by 20%.” 1 AI quote(s) discarded: not found verbatim in CV
Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure	15%	1/5	3.0/15	The CV notes cross-functional leadership, conflict resolution training, and maintaining production continuity in a regulated setting, but lacks any concrete example of resolving a multi-stakeholder crisis, escalation, or failure under pressure.	“Orchestrated the Manufacturing Value Chain, managing a team to ensure 100% production continuity in a regulated environment.”
Total	100%		35	The candidate demonstrates solid capability in connecting operational and commercial interventions to measurable business outcomes such as margin increases and stockout reductions. However, the profile provides minimal to no evidence of independent decision ownership under uncertainty, evidence-led reversals, creating systems adopted by others, or navigating multi-party escalations under pressure.
